Whoa, I just read about that now...see I know nothing. Are his shirts worth more or less?

I'm not sure whether that affected the price of his shirts one way or another...i haven't seen an original for years. Would like one for my collection, but would be less stoked (sorry) to wear it due to due to the fact that he is a murderer. At least a couple of the other 80s skate icons took strange and tragic turns too...
Hosoi was put in prison for meth trafficking and Jeff Phillips committed suicide.
Love to get my hands on a Rodney Mullen "Chessboard" T-shirt (as seen on top 30 list - link below), large or medium would be superb. Lost mine on Daytona Beach back in the 80's, think I left it in the sand after a swim, I've been miffed about it ever since.
